This had some touching episodes between father and son. John yells at Will for reactivating the robot against orders, then has a calm talk with him the next day about it. When Will goes to save John from the cyclops, John makes sure Will is okay, then calmly but firmly lectures him about the importance of obeying orders. Then he puts his coat on Will and tweaks his nose. These interactions are so sweet. Of course, Will disobeyed orders many times throughout the series, but always for good reason.

Their interaction was always like that, and always enjoyable to watch.

I really have to give Smith credit here. When West was threatening to wring his neck, Smith just stood there being all calm and in control and a little amused by West's threat. He was certainly a chill villain at the beginning, and absolutely nothing like the cowardly simp he quickly devolved into!

I was 8 years old when Lost in Space debuted in fall 1965.. the first season, though flawed, was the best of the three seasons of the show... I like how you point out its flaws... you're right... the giant was not truly hostile .. until the Robinsons gave it good reason to be hostile towards them!

Notice how Major West is sweating when they’re supposed to be freezing just before they meet the giant… They were filming in the desert southwest😂😂😂

During the laundry scene, you can see the "ostriches" in the background. They can also be seen in the original pilot.

Yeah, it always bothered me that John chewed out Will after he saved their lives. Reminds me of the German officer who obeyed orders to disastrous effect. The general told him, "The Kaiser pays you to know when not to follow orders."

9:25- In the original unaired series pilot, "No Place To Hide", John's journal {dated December 3, 2001} mentioned that over the "six months" they've been on the planet, "We've established a base camp, domesticated some of the local animals, and cultivated a small farm." In order to recycle the footage from the first pilot for this episode, Irwin Allen had to use some of those scenes of the "creatures" penned in the distance.

@dwashbur 4 жыл бұрын

Yes. I covered the unaired pilot after I covered the fourth episode, because the first four make such extensive use of the pilot footage.

@fromthesidelines 4 жыл бұрын

Dr. Smith- and the robot- could not come along with the others because they weren't in the original pilot. In order for Allen to use the rest of the footage from the first pilot over the next two episodes, he filmed new scenes of Smith and the robot staying behind in the Jupiter 2....and intercut them with the original footage.

@@dwashbur It seemed that the show went into an entirely different direction after the bigwigs has forced Irwin to add in a robot and a saboteur after rejecting the original pilot "Nowhere To Hide" which included the giants, the desecrated civilization and the hungry sea ...... At the end of the original unaired pilot, the Robinsons are being observed by 2 natives of the planet of an advanced civilization ...... Obviously Erwin decided not to run with this story line .... It's my personal opinion based on Allen's huge ego that he resented the network's demand for the changes and so he just disassociated himself from the series plot line and just told Harris and the writers to do whatever they wanted to and despite this series being one of his most financially successful ventures, he just couldn't wait for the series to end so that he could start a new series"Land Of The Giants" and retain full control of that series and it's production.

I'll bet it was a long night for Will knowing that his father would "deal with" him the next morning. John rarely scolded Will, but he took a firm position on this and Will probably thought he was in for it. Instead, it was a very touching conversation between them the next day.

It was never explained, but I later assumed it was similar to an automobile. As long as the car is running, (or the ship is flying), it can generate it’s own electricity for heat, AC, lights, etc. When it’s not running, it’s running off the battery. Even leaving a light on can drain the battery overnight, and as far as heat goes, the cars heat comes from the engine itself. Now being a larger, “modern” spaceship, it should have been well insulated from outside temp extremes, but that will only go so far!!!
